Looking for group & maxi travel from Portsea? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Portsea in a wheelchair accessible taxi with a ramp or hoist, four-point wheelchair restraints and a driver trained to help you in and out safely.
Point Nepean Road ends at Portsea, so every trip in or out follows the same route through Sorrento, which slows considerably in summer and on long weekends. The Portsea Hotel and foreshore get crowded on warm afternoons, and kerbside space is tight. Inside Point Nepean National Park, roads and visitor areas have their own access arrangements, so we drop off and collect at the main visitor area unless you tell us otherwise. Mobile coverage can be patchy on the ocean side. There is no train service. Many holiday homes sit on private roads or behind gates and dense tea-tree, so please give the driver clear directions and a contact number in your booking.

人们还会问什么？
How many people fit in a Maxi taxi?
Our Maxi WAT carries up to six seated passengers plus two wheelchair users. Every passenger has a lap-sash seatbelt, and wheelchairs are secured with four-point restraints. If your group is bigger than one Maxi, we can send an additional vehicle and coordinate both so the group travels at about the same time.
Can the Maxi pick people up from different addresses?
Yes. List each pick-up address in order when you book, and the driver will collect everyone along the way. The same works in reverse at the end of a night out, with passengers dropped at their own homes. Giving us all the addresses upfront lets us plan the most sensible route.
Is the Maxi only for wheelchair users?
No. The Maxi is a wheelchair accessible taxi, but it is just as useful for groups without any wheelchairs. Families, friends, work teams and sporting groups book it for airport trips, dinners, events and day trips simply because everyone can travel in one vehicle together.
Will our luggage fit for an airport trip?
Tell us how many suitcases, prams, golf bags or other large items you have when you book. We will confirm whether everything fits in the Maxi with your group, or suggest a second vehicle if needed. Space depends on how many seats and wheelchair positions are in use on the trip.
How far ahead should we book a Maxi?
As early as possible, especially for weekend nights, public holidays, the summer season on the Peninsula and big event days in Melbourne. Maxi vehicles are popular with groups and wheelchair users alike. Book online in about two minutes or phone us, and you will receive an SMS or email confirmation.
Questions about group & maxi travel from portsea
How long does it take from Portsea to 墨尔本市中心（CBD）?
About 80 minutes without traffic. We add time for loading and securing your wheelchair, and for peak-hour traffic, when we plan your pick-up.
How much does it cost for group & maxi travel from Portsea?
Fares depend on distance, time of day and waiting time. The booking form shows an estimate, or ask us for a fixed quote.
Can you pick me up from my home, a hospital or an aged-care home in Portsea?
Yes. We pick up from any address — homes, hospitals, clinics, aged-care homes and day programs — and help you from the door to the vehicle.
Can you take us to Point Nepean National Park from Portsea?
Yes. We usually drop off at the main visitor area near the park entrance, where the Quarantine Station precinct is. Let us know if you would like to be collected later, and book a set time since mobile reception can be unreliable in parts of the park. Accessible vehicles are available for wheelchair users.
Will you pick up from the Portsea Hotel late at night?
We can. Summer evenings at the Portsea Hotel are busy, so book your trip home in advance and agree a pick-up point out of the main crowd. Groups heading back to Sorrento, Rye or further can share the Maxi WAT, which seats six plus two wheelchairs.
How do I get from Portsea to Melbourne Airport?
Book a taxi at least a day ahead and give us your flight time, so we can plan a pick-up that allows for traffic along Point Nepean Road and the freeways. For the trip home, add your flight number and we will track it. A fixed quote is available on request for this longer journey.
